Dr. Pimple Popper just ended the workweek with a super-satisfying pop: a huge, inflamed cyst on a man's chin.
In the new video, shared Friday afternoon, dermatologist Sandra Lee, MD tackles the painful-looking cyst that actually looks like a gum ball stuck in a man's cheek. "Attention #popaholics," she wrote, "its time for a Closer Look. Head to #youtube to see what all is in this INFLAMED, BROKEN DOWN CYST ON THE CHIN."
While you could head over to Dr. Pimple Popper's YouTube page to see the full 13-minute video, her Instagram video definitely suffices in this case.

At first, Dr. Pimple Popper gives the patient some local anesthetic so he won't have to feel the big pop. Then, out comes her scalpel-Dr. Pimple Popper feels around the patient's cyst a bit to see where she should make an incision. The contents of the cyst are so loose under the skin that they actually shifts underneath the surface. "It turns lighter in that area," she says. "That's where I'm gonna go."
And boy, is this sucker is ready to go. The moment she cuts into it and applies the slightest pressure, murky liquid bursts out. There's even a slow-mo replay of this moment in the video. "I'm sorry it dripped on you!" Dr. P says and she reaches for gauze to soak up the uh, cyst juice.
After the initial pop, Dr. P starts pushing around the small incision, and that's when gunk comes pouring out. Just when you think it's done, there's more. It's basically the cyst that keeps on giving.
"Theres stuff in there, like a broken down cyst," Dr. P explains, meaning that the sac that typically contains all the gunk inside a cyst is broken, so the goo is just free-flowing. "Gosh, you were storing some stuff in there," she adds.
When she finishes cleaning out the white goo, the man's chin looks completely different-no more bump, inflammation, or pressure on his skin. I'm happy for him, and for all the "popaholics" who got to watch that bad boy get taken down.
